| A must visit place for any fans of continental beer as there are a number of imported Austrian beers on offer including a Dunkel, a Pils and a Weissbier. Back in 2002 the bureaucrats at the Weights & Measures department stopped the Austrian landlady from selling in half and full litre earthenware steins insisting that pints and half pints were used. That must have confused the hell out of the “metric martyrs”. There are newspaper cuttings about the story in the corridor. The pub itself is an absolute gem with a roaring log fire in the small main bar for those long winter evenings and two other small cosy rooms including a beautiful panelled snug at the back. I think there may also be an adjoining restaurant. The building clearly has some age to it, 15th Century maybe, and probably gets it’s name from sheltering Cardinals and others when on pilgrimage to the nearby Cathedral. It was believed to be known as the Cardinal’s Hat back in the mid 18th Century since when, for religious and political reasons, it underwent a number of name changes before being restored to it’s present name in the 1950’s.

| Spent a fine Saturday afternoon with a few pals putting our livers through their paces thanks to a fine choice of Austrian beers. Two little rooms, pleasant and atmospheric. Excellent. londinieres - 24 Sep 2006 20:32 |
| An Austrian themed bar! Actually very pleasant, interesting old building with timber beams and the like. Excellent Austrian beer, a little pricey, but I think it's worth it for a bit of extra quality and something a bit different. I had a tasty white beer, perfect for a sunny Saturday afternoon.

| Can't rate this pub as it was closed. Took a day trip to Worcester on a Tuesday and had identified this establishment as a possible lunch stop. it did not open until 7:00pm. Not a lunchtime venue!! Did look interesting from the outside. FirstGom - 18 May 2006 17:43 |
| Wunderbar ! Great selection of lagers (export, pils, wheatbeer, dark and a bock during the winter). Some people go for a light/dark mix. Try the Austrian sausages ... nebel - 3 Jan 2006 10:54 |
